History of Mikisew First Nation of Alberta

These Ojibwa Folks live at far north Alberta very near Peace River. Mikisew First Nation is located east of Fort Vermillion, Alberta which was established in 1788 as was Fort Chipewyan. In fact, Fort Chipewyan is a community of theirs. However, there's a predicament! Chipewyan's lived at Wood Buffalo National Park until 1944 when Canada told them to get out. Wood Buffalo National Park is west of Mikisew First Nation. So how did Mikisew First Nation find itself on Chipewyan land? Supposedly Chipewyan's who were told to leave Wood Buffalo National Park, were forced to registar as being from Mikisew First Nation. During the 1940's, Canada was forcefully relocating Ojibwa's from north Alberta, north Saskatchewan, north Manitoba and the Northwest Territories (that includes Nunavut) to other locations. They did likewise with many Inuit People. Both the Chipewyan and Inuit were living good yet Canada conspired to relocate! That was a terrible mistake. White leaders have made incredible numbers of terrible mistakes! It's obvious Mikisew First Nation is Chipewyan! Russians were first Europeans at this area with an Asian People they brought to North America to help them fight Ojibwa's. The Asian People were named "Ish-gi-moag" by Ojibwa's who also named whites "Ish-gi-moag." It's not a derogatory name! It's definition is "Mystery People and Secret People." Russian and Inuit Soldiers had difficulties fighting Ojibwa's who white historians name Chipewyan pertaining to the war between Ojibwa's and the Inuit which extended from Hudson Bay to McKenzie River Valley. Russians sent Inuit People to English Forts at Hudson Bay where they kept near English Forts. We don't know when Russians made contact with the English at North America. However, each knew of each others positions or that they were at North America. This was when Italians dominated them or before 1763. There are no Cree First Nations at Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec! Below are excerpts from very old books that will help educate you! Look for the 18th century maps. Instead of south to north they are from southeast to northwest. Churchill River is the north boundary. A few Assiniboine and Cree lived west of Lake Winnipeg but were driven to the northwest by 1800 by Ojibwa Soldiers. Churchill River was a boundary used in the 18th century. From Churchill, Manitoba to South Indian Lake, Manitoba to Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan to Buffalo Narrows, Saskatchewan where the source of Churchill River is, this river flows for 1,000 miles. It's source is Churchill Lake, Saskatchewan. All land north of Churchill River is Chipewyan land. Chipewyan is the correct pronunciation of O Chib-bwan or Chib-bwan which means "The Originals and Originals in Ojibwa Language."

Alexander Henry may have known about Russians being established at Alaska and possibly Lower McKenzie River Valley during the early 1760's. Italians had established forts and trade posts as far west as Saskatchewan before 1760. Ojibwa Soldiers drove them out during the 1750-1763 War. After 1750-1763's War, Ojibwa leaders agreed by treaty, to allow American's to establish new trade posts as far west as Saskatchewan. They simply went to the old Italian Trade Posts at Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Alexander Henry was used as a lure to lure idiotic Ojibwa's to the trade posts at Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Henry used alcohol and drugs to lure idiotic Ojibwa's to trade posts during the 1770's and that infuriated Ojibwa leaders who knew how alcohol and addictive drugs made fools out of idiotic Ojibwa's. So addicted were they they'd pimp their women, kill off wild game and actually take care of the European staffs at European Forts and Trade Posts. They even waged war against Ojibwa People. That's how stupid they were! As long as the got their "Fix" they were mighty kind to whites. If they were denied their "Fix" they became very problematic.

Ojibwa's were already living at north Alberta long before 1788. Europeans conspired to halt Ojibwa's from continuing contact with Ojibwa's living at Siberia. It was Seven Fires Prophesy which brought Ojibwa's to Siberia 1,000's of years ago. After Fort Chipewyan and Fort Vermillion were established in 1788, civil war erupted among Ojibwa People. Not very many Ojibwa's sided with whites yet those that did caused Ojibwa's much trouble. They always kept at or near European Forts and Trade Posts. Ojibwa leaders did not want Ojibwa's fighting among themselves yet those Ojibwa's who were addicted to alcohol and drugs didn't care. Ojibwa Soldiers patrolled the region between Fort Chipewyan and Fort Vermillion and often slaughtered Ojibwa Traitors they captured. In some cases they enslaved them to keep them from causing trouble. Russians were established at the west coast and were known of by Ojibwa leaders. Usually with support from other natives and even idiotic Ojibwa's, Europeans established more forts and trade posts at north British Columbia and north Alberta. Ojibwa Soldiers were powerful enough to confine the Europeans and their idiotic Ojibwa allies west of Peace River. That was likely because of the Russian presence at that location. The English were supported by Russians and that made them a stronger force.

Either during the late 18th century or early 19th century, Ojibwa Soldiers had driven the idiotic Ojibwa's (the Beaver Tribe who are Ojibwa Traitors) west of Peace River. Chipewyans who are Ojibwa (Chipewyan is pronounced Chip-ah-wan and means Originals in Ojibwa Language) settled the land the Beaver Tribe were driven from. That be north Manitoba, north Saskatchewan and parts of extreme east Alberta and up to the Northwest Territories. Ojibwa's controlled McKenzie River from west of Great Bear Lake to Great Slave Lake. Enslaving Ojibwa's who refused to behave themselves was common. Ojibwa leaders absolutely did not want Ojibwa's fighting among themselves.

Mikisew First Nation is supposedly a signatory to Treaty 8. However, Treaty 8 is probably an invalid treaty. To sign an authentic treaty with Ojibwa leaders white leaders had to consult with leaders of each major Ojibwa Totem which there were six. If each leader of the six major Ojibwa Totems were in agreement, the agreement became formal if the leader of the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem approved. That's how all Ojibwa Treaties were conducted. Treaty 8 was not conducted in that manner! Descriptions white historians of those times provided are indicators of the use of fraud. They wrote nearly all Indians were Christians, dressed like Europeans, some of the Beavers and Chipewyan spoke Cree, the chiefs and headmen are the most efficient hunters and trappers. That's all we need to know! Treaty 8 was not signed by authentic Ojibwa leaders. It was signed by Ojibwa Traitors who lived at or near European Forts and Trade Posts. Treaty 8 is invalid because white leaders could not get authentic Ojibwa leaders to sign the treaty. After informed their Reserves would be tiny they spit on the ground and told whites to get away from them! Since Treaty 8 was signed by non authentic Ojibwa leaders it's an invalid treaty that can be made authentic if a vast Ojibwa Reserve is created or we can wait until some far future time to settle this predicament.

Population of Mikisew First Nation is 198 according to 2021's census. There are 90 dwellings with 74 lived in. Average household size is 2.7 persons per household. According to 2021's census, 15 people speak Corrupted Ojibwa Language which is what Lewis and Clark named Cree Language. Fort Chipewyan has a population of 798 according to 2021's census. There are 387 dwellings with 309 lived in. Average household size is 2.6 persons per household. Of the population of 798 at Fort Chipewyan, 115 speak a native language. 80 speak Corrupted Ojibwa Language which is what Lewis and Clark called Cree Language. 30 speak Corrupted Ojibwa Language whites term Athabascan or Dene. Ojibwa's living at Mikisew First Nation are closely related to Tall Cree Ojibwa's and Ojibwa's of Little Red River First Nation. However, there's the Chipewyan population that can't be ignored! Many Chipewyans were forced to transfer their registration to Mikisew First Nation in 1944 which is suspicious. It needs to be investigated!
